I am a Research Fellow in the Digital Cultures Research Centre (DCRC), at the University of the West of England, Bristol. I conduct interdisciplinary research into the importance of technology in everyday life. My work is situated in the lines that span and delineate Cultural Studies, Human Geography and Science and Technology Studies. This website is a means for sharing my work.

Very Short Academic Biography
In July 2010 I successfully defended my PhD thesis. I was funded by the Economics and Social Research Council as a 1+3 student. Between November 2009 and June 2010 I worked as an RA with Prof. Martin Weller in the Institute of Educational Technology, at the Open University, investigating practices and rationales for digital scholarship. In 2006 I graduated from the MSc in Society and Space at the School of Geographical Sciences in the University of Bristol. I studied as an undergraduate at the University of Plymouth, in BSc (Hons) Digital Art & Technology in 2004.
